dfacrbed my in'nton, what I miauw# v flaw l longm lover-afm which the operator.I

claim, and desire to Secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

l. A machine of the character described having a pair of mangling instrumentamovable in parallelism one toward or away from the other, and means for controlling the application of pressure therebetween ineluding an intermediately and yieldingl fuleriinied lever wherein the movable instrunient journaled, the ulerum of said lever reiiiriiiiing permanently on the same side of the marigle.

i2. In a machine ot the character de scribed, a surfacing-member and a padded pressing-member, one maintained in a relatively-ixed position and the other movable toward or away from the same, combined with a yieldingly-fulerunied lever-system carryingr and controlling the movable niember, and a feedtable also carried bv the levensystein and bearing a constant relation to the movable member during all changes of position in respect to the relativelyixed member, said system including a pair of levers fit-ted for oscillation on yielding iiilcra intermediate of their ends.

3. The combination, in a mangle, of a eurfaeing-roll, a pressure-roll, gears adapted to intel-mesh and positively rotate said rolls together', means including a lever wherein one of said rolls is journaled, an intermediate rocker for said lever, and a yielding eifppert for said rocker.

4. The eoii'ibination, in a iiiaiigle, of a pair et rolls arranged one above the other,

meant; i-i" governing the Contact or distance and 1in asi-.re therebetween including a pluiaity oi levers having yielding fiilera remainin j i'ifrniaiiriitly en the same side of the manolo and two Table/5 arranged for operation .fabslrfinlialluv on a level one in front and the other in rear of the rolle, the front table being eeeured to and moving with said levers, the rear table meanwhile remaining in position to receive the articles passed between said rolls approximately at said level.

maehine of the character described (,:oiiipiieingr two mangling rolls arranged one above the other, the upper roll retaining a relativelv-fixed poeition and the lower roll beingmovable toward or away from the same` a eroswbar held in front oi the ielati\'elyfixed roll near the point of Contact with the movable roll, a feed-'table7 and a fielding'lv-falernnied lever-system supporting beth the lower roll and feedtable and operating lo move them together, below l aid cross-bar.

(3. A machine of the character' described eomiirising a eliair-lilie frame, head- ;-aipporta or standards rie'iig from the arme` or sides thereof. a pair of niangling rolls mounted between Vaid standards`r one roll being relatively ixed and the other movable in paiallelieiii therewith, ay yieldingly-i'ulerumed leveis v ;tein iiieluding a pair of le vers with whieh the movable roll ia oaffil lated, said levers` having eaeli an intermediate ,yielding fulrriini and controlling the application oic preselire between said rolle. a feed-table earried bv ,said lever-aysteiii and movable with the Same. and a chiite or receiver extending from the baek of the traine downward a suitable distance under the rolls and fee/.liable Signed at the nity of New York, in the county of `New York and State ot New York this fifth day of September A.
